Solutions

You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing.

The CS5.5 installer correctly skips installing its older Flash Player components. However, it incorrectly reports an error at the end of the installation process. 

  • Try to launch Flash Professional. If it launches successfully, then no installation error actually occurred. The error message is false and there is no impact to functionality.

Important:  If you have any additional problems with the installation or launching products, another error could have occurred.  For help identifying with these other errors, see Troubleshoot CS5 and CS5.5 installation with install logs (cpsid_84451).

Additional information

These errors occur when the version of Flash Player that on your system is newer than the version installed by the CS5.5 installer.
